5 Paragraph Essay final draft DUE!!! Introduce and begin working on partner project.
work on partner project. By the end of the period today, you should have the pages you will be using for your assessment.
E-learning Day: After you choose the state that you will concentrate on for the eLearning day, select a famous author, poet or writer of some sort from that state. After researching about the author, find an object that would represent them as a writer. Construct an expository paragraph stating the author, the object, how it connects to the writer and why you chose this particular object. You must also submit a picture of that object along with your paragraph. Example of Object: Use the example, Dr. Suess. If you were to find an object that represents him you might use the image of a cat with a hat on, or a picture of green colored eggs to represent a few of his books. You might also use a picture of a jack- o- lantern because that was the name of the first paper he ever worked for. It should be something that represents the author and shows meaning towards them. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions. How you will be graded: 15 points total- 10 for your paragraph, 5 for your picture.
